Notus in Judaea. God is known in his church: and exerts his power in protecting it. It alludes to the slaughter of the Assyrians, in the days of king Ezechias.

[1] Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians.
[2] In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.
[3] And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:
[4] There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.
[5] Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

[6] All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.
[7] At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.
[8] Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.
[9] Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,
[10] When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

[8] "From that time": From the time that thy wrath shall break out.

[11] For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
[12] Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,
[13] Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
